Why teams connect IBM Informix and Microsoft 365

Mirror Microsoft 365's data into IBM Informix so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Microsoft 365 through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, OneDrive Files (driveItems), SharePoint Sites & Lists, Teams from Microsoft 365 into Databases, Tables, Rows, Views in IBM Informix and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Microsoft 365, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Sync SharePoint lists with operational databases so business users edit in SharePoint while systems read SQL.
  • Archive mail and file metadata into a warehouse for compliance and activity analytics.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Microsoft 365 arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Microsoft 365 with a query

Records from Microsoft 365 are ordinary rows in IBM Informix; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Microsoft 365

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Informix objects Microsoft 365 objects
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Contacts Personal and org contacts kept consistent with CRM contact records.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. OneDrive Files (driveItems) File and folder metadata synced for document workflows and audits.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. SharePoint Sites & Lists List items read and written like lightweight database tables.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Teams Team and membership data provisioned from upstream systems.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Planner & To Do Tasks Task items synced with project and work-management tools.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Users Entra ID user accounts synced with HR and identity systems.
